Chapter 1082 - 937: The Brave One

Chapter 1082: Chapter 937: The Brave One"Don’t talk about ghosts so late at night, it’s kind of scary," said Song Lan, raising a protest.

However, the scene outside the hovering car was far from terrifying. Even though night had fallen over The First Region, the entire city was brightly lit beneath the conglomerate of company skyscrapers.

The First Region was also known as the city that never sleeps; neon lights and advertising projections filled the sky, making anyone who saw them think they were in a dreamlike metropolis. In reality, under the cover of darkness, people were busy working overtime and had no time to appreciate the wonderful night scene of The First Region.

Lu Xiang gave Song Lan a sideways glance.

Not a word from this Dumb Bird could be trusted; each time he professed his fear of ghosts, yet he brought them straight home.

Moreover, according to the chip’s description, Elmon had accomplished the separation of consciousness and body, and that body stored in the suitcase could be aptly described as a corpse. Song Lan, however, hid the corpse in his safe for nearly a month, all of which made him seem more like a psychotic assassin.

"Think positively, and you’re becoming more and more like your idol."

"Idol?"

"General Borusalino."

Through some channels, Lu Xiang had come to know about this virtual character whom Song Lan once regarded as a role model.

One of the three great admirals of the navy, who was also in charge of the navy’s science troops, coincidentally matched the two positions that Song Lan currently held.

"Indeed."

Song Lan suddenly realized.

With all elements in place, he could enjoy a Fishman life just like General Borusalino.

The hovering car continued through the night sky as Song Lan caught sight of an advertisement in the clouds.

In The First Region, you would only ever see two kinds of advertisements.

One promotes working hard, dedicating oneself to the company until death; the other stimulates consumption, encouraging people to spend beyond their means.

Statistics showed that although the average salary in The First Region was five times that of border cities, over seventy percent of the workers here lived paycheck to paycheck. In this city, you could easily find luxury items worth as much as military-grade prosthetics.

Fortunately, both he and Lu Xiang were uninterested in luxury goods.

Right now, one airship’s neon advertising lights were posing a soul-

He felt the United Government and virtual comics were no different.

When the Chairperson of the Council extended him an invitation, he had specifically indicated he could report to the department only two days a week, not including performance evaluations. Meanwhile, for those still working in these buildings, ’996’ was just the basic standard, on top of which were cutthroat elimination policies and terrifying performance reviews.

Over a long practice, the companies had developed a mature scheme.

Firstly, every worker would be saddled with a staggering debt from cybernetic modifications on their first day, which the company couched as "employee benefits," prorated into their monthly salaries. Then came the daily barrage of advertisements hanging above everyone’s head, as well as the abundant loan services.
